kitchen roll paper and apply some ash from the burn
chamber. Rub around the ash on the glass and finish
off with a piece of clean and damp kitchen roll paper.
NB! Only clean when the glass is cold.
Check regularly that the transition between the glass
and the door is completely tight. Possibly tighten the
screws that hold the glass in place - but not too hard,
as this can cause the glass to crack.
Periodically, it may be necessary to change the
gaskets on the door to ensure that the burn chamber
is air tight and working optimally. These gaskets can
be bought as a set, usually including ceramic glue.
CERAMIC GLASS
CANNOT BE
RECYCLED
Ceramic glass should
be disposed of as resid-
ual waste, together with
pottery and porcelain
Recycling of the ceramic glass
Ceramic glass cannot be recycled. Old glass, bre-
akage or otherwise unusable ceramic glass, must be
discarded as residual waste. Ceramic glass has a
higher melting temperature, and can therefore not be
recycled together with glass. In case it would be mixed
with ordinary glass, it would damage the raw material
and could, in worst case end the recycling of glass.
It is an important contribution to the environment to
ensure that ceramic glass does not end up with the
recycling of ordinary glass.
Packaging recycle
The packaging accompanying the product should be
recycled according to national regulations.

8. Advice on lighting a fire
The best way to light a fire is with the use of lightening
briquettes and dry kindling wood. Newspapers
cause a lot of ashes and the ink is damaging for the
environment. Advertising flyers, magazines, milk
cartons and similar are not suitable for lighting a fire.
Good air supply is important at ignition. When the flue
is hot the draught increases and door can be closed.
Warning NEVER use a lighting fuel such as
petrol, karosine, alcohol or similar for lighting
a fire. This could cause injury to you as well
as damaging the product.
Use clean and dry wood with a maximum moisture
content of 20% and minimum 16%. The wood logs
should dry for a minimum of 6 months after it is cut.
Humid wood requires a lot of air for the combustion,
as extra energy/heat is required for drying the humid
wood and heat effect is therefore minimal. In addition
this creates soot in the chimney with the risk of
creosote and chimney fire.
Storing of wood
In order to ensure that the wood is dry, the tree should
be cut in winter and then stored during the summer,
under roof and in a location with adequate ventilation.
The wood pile must never be covered by a tarpaulin
which is lying against the ground as the tarpaulin will
then act as a sealed lid that will prevent the wood from
drying. Always keep a small amount of wood indoors
for a few days before use so that moisture in the
surface of the wood can evaporate.
Firing
Not enough air to the combustion may cause the glass
to soot. Hence, supply the fire with air just after the
wood is added, so that the flames and gases in the
combustion chamber are properly burnt off. Open the
air vent and have the door slightly ajar in order for the
flames to establish properly on the wood.
Note that the air supply for the combustion also can
be too large and cause an uncontrollable fire that very
quickly heat up the whole combustion chamber to an
extremely high temperature (when firing with a closed
or nearly closed door). For this reason you should
never fill the combustion chamber completely with
wood.
It is recommended to keep an even fire with a small
amount of wood. Too many logs put on hot ember,
may result in combustion air starvation, and the gases
will be released unburnt. For this reason it is important
to increase the air supply just after adding the logs.
Choice of fuel
All types of wood, such as birch, beech, oak, elm,
ash and fruit trees, can be used as fuel in the insert.
Wood species have different degrees of density - the
more dense the wood is, the higher the energy value.
Beech, oak and birch has the highest density.
Attention! We do not recommend using fuel
briquettes/ compact wood in our products. Use of
such fuel may cause the product to overheat and
exceed the temperatures determined safe.
Burning briquettes/ compact wood is at your own
risk and only small amounts (max 1/3 of normal
